Hey Jeff,

1: I have seen that page, but code like this should be thrown up on the 
public internet,
so that we can get some kudos for work that we have done, before people 
switch DNS
to OpenNIC

2: Yeah, that would be possible. The only thing that I am concerned about is 
latency.
ie, how far away are the LDAP servers from the Azure instances running the www
interface and the dns servers?

The latency of reads from the LDAP server is the one thing that has stopped me
from using LDAP thus far.

Would it be possible to have a local read-only slave so that at least reads 
are not
limited by the location of the LDAP servers?

If the answer to having a local LDAP server is yes, I will sit down either 
tonight or
tomorrow night and make a provider for Laravel's UserProviderInterface and for
my new DomainProviderInterface to store data in LDAP rather then Eloquent.

Regards,
Tim
